Like him or not, you’re going to be seeing more of Greg Hardy in the UFC.

The former NFL defensive lineman won his sixth professional MMA fight Saturday night, defeating Juan Adams 45 seconds into the heavyweight bout by TKO. Hardy is 2-1 since joining UFC.

Adams had called Hardy out before the fight over the domestic violence charges Hardy faced in 2014. Hardy, who was on the Panthers at the time, was charged with assaulting an ex-girlfriend, but those charges were dropped in 2015 when the victim didn’t show up to testify in court.

“When I was 6 years old, I watched my mom get beat up in front of me,” Adams told MMA Junkie during the week. “I tried to fight that dude. I was 6 years old trying to fight a grown man. Now, if it were to happen, that’s not how it would have gone down. That plays a big role in it, being able to do something about things I don’t like. I can control the situation a bit more now.”

Hardy, 30, wasn’t re-signed by the Panthers in 2015 before joining the Cowboys. He played 12 games with Dallas that year and has been out of the NFL ever since.

He went 3-0 in his first three MMA fights before joining UFC, for which he made his debut at Barclays Center in January. Hardy was disqualified from that fight in the second round for an illegal knee, but he’s won two straight fights since and could be working his way up UFC’s heavyweight division.

“For one, calling my name comes with consequences. For two, taking me down comes with consequences,” Hardy said after Saturday’s fight, which took place on the UFC on ESPN 4 card in San Antonio.
